RIP Haruo Nakajima

1929-2017

This one truly sucks. The actor who was in the suit for the original Godzilla film Haruo Nakajima has passed away at 88 years old. He was in plenty of Godzilla films, including Godzilla's Revenge, Godzilla vs. Megalon, and Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster (the three real Godzilla films I have inducted). He suffered a lot for it (as well as other monsters) like burns, electric shocks, and near-suffocation, but I'm glad to see that he was able to see for as long as he can the fruits of his labor in the monster he suited up for in more than any other actor, be the icon it is today.
